Not sure if you're crossing the fine line between platonic and romantic relationship? Answer these 10 questions to find out.
- Do you have a best friend or close friend of the opposite sex?
- If yes, does your partner know the details or nature of your conversation with him/her?
- Are there secrets between you both that your partner knows nothing about?
- If your partner was present, would your conversation with this person be the same?
- Can you in all honesty describe your relationship with this person as "Just friends", strictly or mostly "Hi" and "bye"?
- Do you find yourself dressing to please his/her taste? Is he or she dominant in your thoughts when you get dressed?
- Do you find yourself having romantic thoughts about this person, even when lying beside with your partner?
- Do you look beyond your partner for emotional support? Relying on this person for emotional fulfilment?
- Do you find your commitment and loyalty to your partner being compromised/threatened by your emotional and physical involvement with this person?
- Are his/her suggestive words and flirtations not only welcome, but sit deep within the burning embers of your intimate desire?
There's a saying; "where your heart goes, your steps soon follow"
If YES is the answer to ALL or MOST of the above in the questionnaire, then there is a good chance your relationship with the said person constitutes emotional unfaithfulness. You might already be involved in an emotional affair which could soon develop into a full blown physical affair. One way or another, we are all guilty.
